Lars Alexandersson (Japanese: ラース・アレクサンダーソン, Hepburn: Rāsu Arekusandāson) is a character from the Tekken fighting game franchise by Bandai Namco Entertainment. First introduced in the 2008 arcade game update Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion, he serves as the main protagonist of the Tekken 6 story mode.
Introduced as the leader of the rebel group Yggdrasil (ユグドラシル, Yugudorashiru), Lars commands his forces against Jin Kazama in order to stop the war he started during the Tekken 6 storyline through his military group, the Mishima Zaibatsu. Wounded in the crossfire, Lars meets the robot Alisa Bosconovitch who accopanies him on a journey to find Jin. Since Tekken 6, Lars has become a recurring major protagonist in the franchise, and has appeared in the cross-over Street Fighter X Tekken and as a guest character in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2.
Conceived from a name idea for a Swedish character, Lars was given a moveset fitting with other strong characters in the series, to make him easy to use by newcomers to the franchise. While he became fairly popular among fans of the series, the character had a mixed reception from video game reviewers. Most critics praised his fighting style. His inclusion in Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 was praised for fitting in the cast thanks to manga author Masashi Kishimoto's take on the character.
